Wabi-Matcha Cafe In The East Village
/
I love tea, especially green tea. Many of you may know that green tea is good for you. Green tea extract is approximately twice more antioxidant-active than vitamin c (I got this info from Wikipedia Green tea extract) If you like green tea, have you heard of matcha? Matcha is finely ground powder of specially grown and processed green tea. Matcha is getting popular in NYC! I'm so happy that many New Yorkers are getting to know and like good Japanese things. You can buy matcha from special super markets and try to make matcha at home. But, you should know what real matcha is like before you make it. Today, I would like to introduce my favorite matcha cafe, Wabi. Wabi is located in our lovely community in The East Village. They opened the end of last year. You can try many different kind of drinks using matcha. They also sell home made Japanese sweets using matcha such as matcha madeleine! When I visited them, I asked the super friendly staff Yuji and Ayaka which drink will be good for a hot summer day. They recommended the ice matcha cafe latte. It is matcha and coffee. It sound's and looks great. I really like this little matcha cafe Wabi in The East Village! I asked Ayaka about her favorite spots in The East Village. The answers are blow this page (after Japanese writing) You may find a new spot in The East village.
ニューヨークで今、抹茶が密かなブームになりつつあります。抹茶をたてて飲む方も中にはいるだろうけど、ニューヨークでは抹茶ラテが人気。でも、まだまだ抹茶をメインにしているカフェは少ないんですが、我らの愛する地元 The East village に抹茶を専門にしているMatcha Cafe Wabiが去年の暮れにオープンしました！Matcha cafe Wabiは、抹茶を使用した様々な美味しそうなドリンクや、手作り抹茶スウィーツがぎゅっと詰まった可愛いカフェ。お店のスタッフ、Yujiさんと、Ayakaさんはとてもフレンドリーで、この夏におすすめのアイス抹茶カフェラテをおすすめしてくださいました。抹茶カフェラテは、抹茶とコーヒーが一緒になった一度で二度美味しいドリンク。色も二層になってとても綺麗だしミルクが多すぎなくいい感じの大人のラテ。Matcha Cafe Wabiとっても気に入りました！お店のスタッフAyakaさんにThe East villageのおススメのお店情報を仕入れました！詳細は下記です。みんながまだ知らなかった新しいお店を知る事が出来るかも！おたのしみに：）
